STATEMENT OF LCDR D.,,E. VFA 22 REGARDING VFA 22 CLASS A FM 01- 92 01 MAY 1992

I was the Flight Lead for Beef 2, a scheduled division opposed Low Level

Mission, launching at 0900 and recovering at 1030 . LCDR McGuire, in Beef 3,

would provide opposition support and Radar/Lookout Doctrine training along the

VR-208 Low Level route into the Fallon/817 Target Complex. The brief was

scheduled for 0730 but was delayed for 10 minutes for Beef 2 Dash 3, who was

not in the spaces.

LCDR McGuire arrived on time for the brief, writing down the lineup, route

points and times, comm plan and other pertinent items prior to the brief

starting . He appeared well rested, enthusiastic and ready to fly. I elected

to fly the event as a triad, as I felt sliding the brief would affect our

takeoff time and subsequent flight schedule. I covered the basic admin for

the flight ensuring LCDR McGuire knew our route i ntentions , times, simulated

deliveries, and aimpoints in the target area. LCDR McGuire was to l aunch five

minutes before Beef 2 and provide a radar target as well as visual adversary

to test our RHAW, Radar, and visual lookout doctrine. LCDR McGuire would then

get us cleared into the Fallon Complex/Target Area , and pass our assigned

Fallon Complex IFF codes . He had performed this mission on numerous occasions

and was thoroughly familiar with the scenario. After obtaining all pertinent

imformation, LCDR McGuire left the brief allowing the Beef 2 flight to discuss

Admin and tactics for the triad. During that portion of the brief, Wing

Operations called requesting we slide our takeoff time 10 minutes for VR-208

route deconfliction. We agreed. At the end of the brief , Beef 2 flight was

briefed on a 3 pl ane ACM option in GABBS if fuel was available after exiting

the target . At this time I realized I had neglected to brief low altitude ROE

and briefed LCDR McGuire while getting dressed to launch . I al so ensured that

Encl (l IP ) _l_ of _1_

(b) (6)

k - ·· . el dl h the ACM option was o ay s1nce 1t was not on the schedu e. Man up an aunc

went as briefed wit~. LCDR McGuire in Beef 3 launching at approximately 0907

and Beef 2 following 5 minutes later at 0912 . As Beef 2 took the runway I

called to switch to our tactical frequency and got a check in with LCDR

McGuire, already airborne, checking in as 4. The only other contact we had

with the MP was when he called Oakland Center to descend and cancel on IFR

327.0 as we approached the Mizre Tacan Fix. Approaching VR-208 point Alpha,

Dash 3 called a contact about 40 NM ahead of us at 7,000 ft, cold and looked

like a "slow mover" . I called for descent to cancel, contacted Fresno FSS in

the blind and descended through an open area in the broken layer of clouds at

12,000 ft. As we approached the mountain range prior to point Alpha, Dash 3

called sight of the traffic, "the white cessna by the white smoke". I got a

tally of a white cessna flying by a small white brush fire. I then called for

radar altimeter to be switched to the HUD and upon clearing the ridge

initiated 9 left/right turns for GLOC. We then moved into the triad

formation and called Beef 3 that we were approaching Point Alpha. I received

no answer and called again at Point Alpha wi t h no response. I asked Dash 3

how he was reading my transmissions and he replied "loud and clear" . We

pressed on along the route calling out checkpoints but receiving no response.

I assumed that Beef 3 had headed up to Fallon and would be waiting for us

there. Approaching the Fallon Complex I contacted Desert Control, who cleared

us into the area. We contacted B- 17 target, made our delivery and exited

south . I called Desert Control and asked if they had heard from Beef 3. I

was told that we were the only Beef' s that day so far . I asked them to call

our duty desk to see if they had any word on Beef 3's whereabouts. The call

came back that he had taken off 5 minutes before us and no word since. From

that point I sent Beef 2 Dash 2 back to base to relay messages for us as we

proceeded VFR back to Point Alpha to check the smoke we saw. That was al l we

would have fuel for. I had Dash 2 initiate the SAR effort with base and took

Encl (I (o) 1. of _}___

the eastern side of th~idgeline while Dash 3 took the~estern half . We were

able to make one pas$ over the area , saw no smoke but Dash 3 would later say

he did see some vehicles in the area where the smoke had been . From there we

turned back to Lemoore to gas up . I contacted Fresno FSS on the way back and

Statement of LCDR E. /1310, Regarding VFA-22 Class A FM 01-92 on 07 May 1992.

On May 7, 1992 I was scheduled for a 0730 brief, 0900 takeoff, as dash 4 of a 4 plane low level, callsign Beef 2. LCDR

was assigned as the flight lead and Mission Commander of my flight. LCDR McGuire was scheduled as Beef 3 to provide opposition support and Radar/Lookout training along the VR-208 Low Level into the FallonjB-17 Target area for our flight. Beef 2 Dash 3 was unavailable at brief time and after a 5-10 minute wait LCDR decided to brief our division as a three plane.

LCDR McGuire was on time and appeared well rested and ready to fly. Before the brief LCDR McGuire wrote down the line-up, route waypoints, comm plan and other pertinent information that was put up on the board by the flight lead. The administrative portion of brief was conducted in accordance with the VFA-22 briefing guide. LCDR also covered the coordination for the Fallon target area that LCDR McGuire was to provide for our flight. LCDR Mcguire then left the briefing room and LCDR finished the brief with our element tactics and ROE. While the flight was getting their flight gear on I noticed that LCDR was briefing LCDR McGuire on the ROE that he covered after LCDR McGuire left the briefing room.

Start, Taxi, and Take-off went as briefed. Beef 3 launched approximately 5 minutes ahead of our flight, callsign Beef 2 . Just prior to taking the runway LCDR initiated a radio/flight check-in on the assigned tactical frequency. LCDR Mcguire checked in as Dash 4. As our flight was in the vicinity of MIZRE we checked in with Oakland Center on 327 .0. Shortly after we checked in with Oakland Cent er I heard Beef 3 canceling his IFR clearance. As Beef 3 canceled his clearance I noticed that I had an Air to Air Tacan reading of 42 NM which I believe was ranging off of Beef 2. Approximately 5 NM East of MIZRE I had a radar contact east of our position for 40NM at 7 ,000 ft . The contact was flying at a low Mach number Eastbound and I reported the contact to the flight as a "slow mover". I continued to monitor the contact as we approached Point Alpha of the VR-208. Approximately 5 NM Southeast of Bishop airport I saw the contact , a small white Cessna that was now heading West approaching a small fire within a valley. The fire appeared to be a small brush fire that was emitting a white smoke with no visible flames. I called the traffic for the flight as he flew over the smoke. As we crossed the ridgeline just prior to the start of our low level LCDR called for the flight to check radar altimeters to the HUD followed by two 90 degree G LOC turns . At the completion of the G LOC maneuver LCDR called over the radio that the flight was approaching Point Alpha and then again as we crossed the Point Alpha. LCDR McGuire did not respond to either of the calls. LCDR asked me if I could hear his trans missions and I replied "loud and clear" . LCDR

continued to give position reports throughout our route of flight at all check points but still received no response from

Beef 3. As we approached the Fallon Complex LCDR contacted Desert Control an received clearance into the Bravo 17 target area. He then contacted Bravo 17 as we entered the target. The flight made a single bomb delivery and exited the target area. While departing the target LCDR contacted Desert Control and asked if they have heard from Beef 3. Their reply was negative and he asked if they would called the squadron and see if Beef 3 had returned to base. The call came back and they reported that base had not heard from him since he taken off. LCDR then directed Dash 2 of our flight to proceed home and relay messages to base as he and I proceeded back toward Point Alpha where we saw the smoke. As we continued toward Point Alpha LCDR told Dash 2, that was returning to base, to have base initiate a SAR effort. Due to our fuel state LCDR and I split up. He took the Eastern ridgeline and I took the Western ridgeline. I was only able to make a single pass over the area, due to my fuel state, that I believed to be the area that I had witnessed the smoke. During that single pass I did notice a few vehicles in the area that I believed to be campers and saw no evidence of a fire or smoke. I returned to base at this time to refuel. Upon my return, base coordinated another flight plan for CDR and myself To return to the Bishop area as there was now confirmed reports of a military aircraft that has crashed within the Bishop area. CDR and I flew to the Bishop area to search for the crash s i te. Within minutes of arri ving in the are a we found the s ite . CDR and I held ove rhe ad the area to help direct the r e scue helos onto the site and once they arrived we continued to hold until they came back with a status of the pilot. Once the helo pilots reported the mishap pilots status CDR and I returned to base.

STATEMENT OF COLONEL USAF(R), WITNESS

June 1, 1992

Cmdr. CSFWP NAS Lemoore CA 93246

Sir:

At the time of the mishap I was instructing aerobatics to ,M.D., also of Mammoth Lakes. We were at approximately

nine-thousand feet over Round Valley, just west of Bishop Airport and west of Highway 395. As we were clearing the area preparatory to doing aerobatics, Dr. called my attention to an airplane to the south of us, heading north up the river toward Bishop. I remarked that it appeared to be an F18 and that we should look for a possible second F18. The aircraft was flying fairly fast and low over the river, perhaps a thousand feet AGL or lower. We delayed our maneuvering until I saw him turn east towards the White Mountains. we performed one barrel roll, and upon rolling out we immediately saw a large column of black smoke rising out of the area where we had last seen the F18. I flew over to the Black canyon area and, upon looking closely at the flame and smoke pattern, elected to notify the Sheriff's office of a possible downed aircraft. I called the UNICOM at Bishop Airport and gave them the report. I returned to the canyon and made several low passes to see if there were any signs of a parachute. I could see the apparent impact point and some signs of aircraft wreckage. I also saw an automobile parked directly under the impact point, at the confluence of Black and Marble Canyons. I stayed airborne over the crash sight until two Sheriff's cars arrived. The weather was clear with unrestricted visibility. The point of impact was not in shadow and was easily visible to us as ~ initially descended toward the canyon from several miles away.
